Popular American rapper changes name to "YE"

It appeared uncalled for following the Announcement of name change on his Twitter handle on Saturday,
he wrote: "The being formally icon rapper known as
Kanye West. I am YE."
West, 41, has been nicknamed Ye for some
time and used the moniker as the title for his
eighth album, which was released in June.

The change came ahead of his appearance on
Saturday Night Live, where he was expected to
launch his new album Yandhi.
He replaced singer Ariana Grande on the show
who cancelled for "emotional reasons" , the
show's creator said.
As well as being an abbreviation of his current
professional name, West has previously said the
word has religious significance for him.
"I believe 'ye' is the most commonly used word
in the Bible , and in the Bible it means 'you,'"
West said earlier this year, discussing his album
title with radio host Big Boy.
